And speaking of renewals, new this year is a "March cut-off date" for our roster update. So you have until the March meeting to either renew in person, or renew on line for 2014 to be included in the roster, which is what will go out to all of our sponsoring vendors. Put another way, if you don't renew before March 5 then you won't be included in that.

March will also be when the Member's only section of the forum here gets updated.

You bet! And we really do need help with this- in the best case, we'd like the Colorado Association, United, BRC, CUSP, COHVCO, and others presented at one of our meetings later this year (after Moab), with the opportunity for each to be presented with benefits, costs, past endeavors, etc. The list would look a lot like past recipients of our Philanthropy donations.

It's not a trivial task though, the only way to do it would be to divide & conquer. Months would be June, July, August, and if need be, September. Wouldn't have to be a personal visit, someone could instead just speak for 15 minutes based on a couple phone conversations and/or email exchange, on behalf of whichever organization they spoke with. Then we consolidate all of that info into a more "a la carte" approach to membership next year, where it's $25 for RS plus whatever other options are agreed upon.

And if this can't all happen this year, then odds are good we'll be right back where we are again today a year from now. So if it's important to you, then hopefully it's important to you to be a part of the process.

i can arrange this..I'm a Delegate fro TRR, I know Kerry B. REALLY well. He was president but is secretary for the state for 2014

Hey Ray, yes, as we said at our meeting the night you were there this won't be a problem- anyone who's already a member of those other organizations (United & Colorado) you don't have to pay again, we can accommodate. We're still members of both. In fact it's this type of situation that's validating the proposed change here.

Hey just bumping this up... remember we'd like to get our list to vendors nailed down and issued after the March meeting.

Has been a pretty sweet year so far for member's only deals- an LED light bar group buy, an awning group buy, a RTT and locker group buy.. and shoot February's not even over yet. That's beside the regular deal you'll get on normal Toyota parts from Stevenson West, or stuff from some of our other supporting vendors. Pretty easy recovery on investment... jump off the fence, yo!

Rising Sun is now equipped to accept credit card payments at monthly meetings! We have acquired a merchant account and the required hardware and software. You will be able to pay by VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express starting at the March meeting. There will be a $1.38 convenience fee included in your card transaction for a total of $51.38 to get your annual dues paid. See me at the meeting to take advantage of this option!
